Care Day Awards

Care Day is all about celebrating and connecting young people with lived experience of care. This year, we want to recognise care experienced young people who have had a significant achievement, or who have made a contribution to their community.
Nominations have now closed. Winners will be announced at a special CARE DAY AWARDS CEREMONY, to be held on Friday 21 February 2025.
